₹150.00

Red finger lime (Citrus australasica) is a unique and exotic citrus fruit known for its elongated shape, vibrant red to deep pink skin, and flavorful pearl-like pulp inside. Native to Australia, this premium fruit is often called “citrus caviar” because its juicy vesicles resemble tiny pearls that burst with refreshing flavor. The fruit offers a tangy, zesty taste with notes of lime, lemon, and subtle herbal undertones, making it highly popular in gourmet cuisine, beverages, desserts, and seafood dishes. Its colorful pulp can range from pink to red, adding both flavor and visual appeal. Red finger lime trees are compact, thorny citrus plants that thrive in warm climates and can be grown in home gardens or containers. They prefer well-drained soil, full sunlight, and protection from frost. Botanical name: Citrus australasica (red-pulp varieties) Origin: Australia (native species, selectively bred types)
